Turning inserts for stainless steel need high wear resistance and chipping resistance to handle stainless steel's high toughness and work-hardening characteristics. Below are several insert types suitable for stainless steel machining:
- TNMG, WNMG, CCMT series: Suitable for machining stainless steel and steel parts, offering stable cutting performance and good chip evacuation.
- Heat-resistant coatings (e.g., TiAlN, TiCN): Improve wear resistance and heat resistance, suitable for high-speed machining.
- Special chip-breaker groove design: Ensures smooth chip evacuation and reduces built-up edge, protecting machining quality.
